the books section

These are books, mostly for children, that I've illustrated, or written and illustrated. You can click on the book cover or the title and find a lot more information from each book.
I've also added a comics section here as well, which you can find by clicking here or the "comics" link on the far left.

A true-to-life behind the scenes look at how books are made. The author thinks she’s in charge, but as everyone knows, the illustrator is the real star of the show. This book started out as a regular book about animals. Julie and I started out as friends. Everything went downhill from there. Coming October 2017.

It’s a noisy night in this city building! The residents of each floor can hear their neighbors above them, and are wondering what’s going on above their heads. Climb floor by floor and page by page to find out whose singing, dancing, cheering, and cooing are keeping a grumpy old man awake.
I cannot tell you how excited I am about this book. Mac wrote a weird, perfect little script full of onomatopoeia and interesting characters, and I got to run a little wild with it. Reviewed in the New York Times on April 9, 2017.

A series of six books about a boy and his robots, and building antimatter motors, and saving the town, and a chimpanzee who speaks in sign-language, and a giant pink squirt-gun, and energy, and space, and gee, what else could you want? Read more.

Ellray is the shortest kid in his class. He’s got lots of other issues as well. This is a nine-book series written by Sally Warner. I illustrated all the covers, but only the interior of books 4 through 9. I know, it’s complicated. It’s a terrific series.

You say your parents never take you camping? Well it’s not their fault. They just haven’t read this book. It’s really well-written, well-designed, and the illustrations are ok too. It fits in tents and backpacks.
